The Richmond's: All about Eli

Where to start...well i guess I will start with this Eli was born 7-26-2010. We had to have an emergency C-section because he had no fluid around him and once they got in they found out his cord was around his neck. But by the grace of God we had no other problems and we went home 4 day later.

Then at 1 day shy of 2 mths (after he got his 2 mth old shots) we got home from getting his 2 mth old shots and he had spiked a fever of 103 so I took him to urgent care and they could not do an xray of him cause he was to little so they sent us to the ER. once there they took him in done an xray and found out he had pneumonia, they said they didnt have the equipment to take care of him so they sent us by ambulance to Brenner's where we had to stay for 4 days 3 days for test because by the grace of God after the 1st nite they found no signs of anything wrong :) So we got sent home.

Then we had to deal with the fact he cant use his right hand like he should so we again went to Brenner's to see a neurologist to see what could be wrong. they think it could be CP a very small case but still so they wanted to see us back in 6 mths but they called and want to see us in 3 mths so they can get a 2nd opinion on whats going on (will update when we see whats up).

Then after that we find out his head is misshaped and that its messing with his face. we find out he is gonna need a helmet which new is $600. this is where i know my God is so good. i was worried that i would not have the money to get him what he needed so i asked a friend for prayer, she then asked her other friends for prayer, and within less the 24 hrs a friend of hers who she had not spoken to in years said that God blessed them with the money when they needed it and she thought she would help us by giving us the one she had GOD IS SO GOOD. without God i know that would not have happened.

Now he is going to have to have a swallowing study done cause he has trouble eating baby food and spits up more then he should and he is going to have to have his vision checked as well but i know with God on our side we will get though this :)

PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD!!! HE IS SO GOOD!!!
